And the beaks on the eaglets are very dark. I'm not sure if the part that is suspected beak is the bright colored part....but that definitely would not belong to an eaglet.  I noticed when I was there that the adults are reaching way down into the nest so I think the rim was really built up this year due to the deterioration of the nest.  Could it be longer than usual before we see a head?
